Verdeia tips
- Upon receipt, take the plant out of its box and allow it 24 to 48 hours to acclimate in a bright place without direct sunlight.
- Check the soil moisture before watering; add a little water only if the surface is dry.
- Avoid heat sources and drafts, and keep a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve the beauty of the foliage.
- Wait 2 to 3 weeks before any repotting, allowing the plant time to stabilize.
- Gently wipe the leaves to remove dust and observe them: slight stress during the first few days is completely normal.

Calathea orbifolia – Peacock Plant 🌿 Graphic and tropical elegance
🌿 Graphic foliage • 🏙️ Ideal for modern interiors • 💧 Likes humidity • 🌤 Soft light • 🐾 Non-toxic
The Calathea orbifolia, nicknamed peacock plant, is a true botanical work of art. Its large round leaves, finely striped with silver on deep green, capture the light and transform your interior into a soothing tropical haven.
Native to South America, this tropical plant grows under the canopy and adapts perfectly to indoor life. It embodies natural elegance and urban serenity: a must-have for your refined jungle.
Verdeia Tip: its foliage slightly changes position depending on the light — a poetic spectacle typical of Calathea.
Exposure & placement
Calathea orbifolia appreciates soft light and dimmed atmospheres, reminiscent of the tropical canopy from which it originates.
- Light: partial shade or filtered light, no direct sun.
- Ideal location: bright bathroom, living room, or bedroom.
- Avoid: direct sunlight that burns the leaves and overly dry areas.

Watering & maintenance
Calathea orbifolia likes fresh and slightly moist substrates. It requires gentle attention, without excess water.
- Watering: regular (about once a week), let the surface of the soil dry slightly.

- Misting: frequent to maintain optimal ambient humidity.
- Fertilizer: mild, every 2 to 3 months during spring and summer.
